Looking for community services and supports available during this crisis and in recovery?
The City of Lethbridge has been working with HelpSeeker and the community to find and create a comprehensive list of what is operating and available.
This is an unusual time and due to the ever-changing nature of the situation, the City of Lethbridge encourages you to take normal precautions when accessing any of these services as they are not listed here as an endorsement of or by the City of Lethbridge, and have not been vetted as such.
For the current list please visit
HelpSeeker.org - a free location-based help services network that allows you to find the closest, most relevant service for your needs with complete privacy.
A printable pdf of the listings can be found here (updated March 11, 2021)
